News: Aronofsky abandons Robocop reboot

Darren Aronofsky has been forced to abandon his reboot of Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi-fascism hit Robocop due to financial concerns surrounding studio MGM. The company is $3.7 billion in debt, casting doubt over the production of not just Robocop – both The Hobbit and the next James Bond film are also in danger of simply never getting made. With both fans and critics looking forward to Aronofsky’s Robocop, the news has been greeted with displeasure and disappointment. C’mon MGM – get your act together!
